Try adding attribute `autogen-sh="configure"` to the subversion element in 
~/Source/jhbuild/modules/bootstrap.modules.

"bison" is bison v3 which is known not to compile on 10.4. Add a line
   skip.append('bison")
to your jhbuildrc and then separately run
   jhbuild --moduleset=bootstrap.modules buildone bison2
to get the older bison2, which should build OK. You won't be able to build gstreamer, but IIRC that's not the 
only reason it won't build on Tiger.
